 A clash on Tuesday between soldiers and ticket touts at the popular Ladikpul Autospare Parts Market in Lagos had left the number of persons dead, but the casualty figures are still uncertain. While some say three persons were killed by the soldiers, others put the figure at five. Traders said some soldiers came and started shooting directly at them. Another account said personnel of the Nigerian Air Force opened fire on traders following a disagreement over an article bought from a trader. The fight ensued and a military man called for backup from his colleagues. Calm was later restored although broken bottles could still be seen on the ground afterwards. Most shops were closed while traders still around wearing clusters discussing the incident.
